Summing multiple array lookups within one cell

[Azure9]

Hello Excel friends,

I'm trying to sum a multiple array lookup without much success. I've read through many threads on this forum and googled furiously, but just can't quite seem to make it work.

I have a table of lookup values, I'm showing 4 pairs here, which represent start & end dates. In reality the table of lookup values might have 20 or 50+ pairs (rows) of values.

A1:B4

17/07/2017	31/07/2017
20/07/2017	26/07/2017
27/07/2017	31/07/2017
24/07/2017	31/07/2017

<tbody>
</tbody>

These are used to perform searches on a date table (which I've named WorkdayArray, with WorkdayArrayDateCol as [Date], and WorkdayArrayColMon-Fri as [Monday] to [Friday]).

Date	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
11/07/2017	0	1	0	0	0
12/07/2017	0	0	1	0	0
13/07/2017	0	0	0	1	0
14/07/2017	0	0	0	0	1
17/07/2017	1	0	0	0	0
18/07/2017	0	1	0	0	0
19/07/2017	0	0	1	0	0
20/07/2017	0	0	0	1	0
21/07/2017	0	0	0	0	1
24/07/2017	1	0	0	0	0
25/07/2017	0	1	0	0	0
26/07/2017	0	0	1	0	0
27/07/2017	0	0	0	1	0
28/07/2017	0	0	0	0	1
31/07/2017	1	0	0	0	0

<tbody>
</tbody>

This lookup serves to sum up the number of each workday in the range of the task.

At the moment I'm using:

=INDEX(WorkdayArrayMonCol,MATCH(A1,WorkdayArrayDateCol)):INDEX(WorkdayArrayFriCol,MATCH(B1,WorkdayArrayDateCol))

To perform the search which returns a 2d array. In this example the range specified (17/7/2017-31/07/2017) returns an array, which if I SUM it returns 11.

I then multiply the result of that first lookup with an availability entry, which is a 5-value array itself, representing whether they work a full day or not. In this example, the staff member works half days on Monday & Friday.

(Values in P3:P7)

Monday	0.5
Tuesdays	1.0
Wednesdays	1.0
Thursdays	1.0
Fridays	0.5
Total Availability	0.80

<tbody>
</tbody>

In this example, when I multiply the two:

=INDEX(WorkdayArrayMonCol,MATCH(A1,WorkdayArrayDateCol)):INDEX(WorkdayArrayFriCol,MATCH(B1,WorkdayArrayDateCol))*TRANSPOSE(P3:P7)
= 8.5

What I need is the sum from multiple lookups all in one shot so I can get the total, in this case, 19, in one lookup.

=SUM(INDEX(WorkdayArrayMonCol,MATCH(A1,WorkdayArrayDateCol)):INDEX(WorkdayArrayFriCol,MATCH(B1,WorkdayArrayDateCol))*TRANSPOSE(P3:P7))	=8.5
=SUM(INDEX(WorkdayArrayMonCol,MATCH(A2,WorkdayArrayDateCol)):INDEX(WorkdayArrayFriCol,MATCH(B2,WorkdayArrayDateCol))*TRANSPOSE(P3:P7))	=4
=SUM(INDEX(WorkdayArrayMonCol,MATCH(A3,WorkdayArrayDateCol)):INDEX(WorkdayArrayFriCol,MATCH(B3,WorkdayArrayDateCol))*TRANSPOSE(P3:P7))	=2
=SUM(INDEX(WorkdayArrayMonCol,MATCH(A4,WorkdayArrayDateCol)):INDEX(WorkdayArrayFriCol,MATCH(B4,WorkdayArrayDateCol))*TRANSPOSE(P3:P7))	=4.5
Total:	=19

<tbody>
</tbody>

I thought =SUM(INDEX(WorkdayArrayMonCol,MATCH(A1:A4,WorkdayArrayDateCol)):INDEX(WorkdayArrayFriCol,MATCH(B1:B4,WorkdayArrayDateCol))*TRANSPOSE($P$3:$P$7)) would be a winner but no such luck.

I've also tried:

=IFERROR(MMULT(MMULT(TRANSPOSE(ROW(INDEX(WorkdayArrayMonCol,MATCH(A1:A4,WorkdayArrayDateCol)):INDEX(WorkdayArrayFriCol,MATCH(B1:B4,WorkdayArrayDateCol)))^0),INDEX(WorkdayArrayMonCol,MATCH(A1:A4,WorkdayArrayDateCol)):INDEX(WorkdayArrayFriCol,MATCH(B1:B4,WorkdayArrayDateCol))),$P$3:$P$7),0) =SUMPRODUCT((H2:H38>=A1)*(H2:H38<=B1)*I2:M38*TRANSPOSE(P3:P7)) (only good for one entry) Even breaking it down into vectors and adding them to see if that made a difference: =SUM(INDEX(WorkdayArrayMonCol,MATCH(A1:A4,WorkdayArrayDateCol)):INDEX(WorkdayArrayMonCol,MATCH(B1:B4,WorkdayArrayDateCol))*$P$3 +INDEX(WorkdayArrayTueCol,MATCH(A1:A4,WorkdayArrayDateCol)):INDEX(WorkdayArrayTueCol,MATCH(B1:B4,WorkdayArrayDateCol))*$P$4 +INDEX(WorkdayArrayWedCol,MATCH(A1:A4,WorkdayArrayDateCol)):INDEX(WorkdayArrayWedCol,MATCH(B1:B4,WorkdayArrayDateCol))*$P$5 +INDEX(WorkdayArrayThuCol,MATCH(A1:A4,WorkdayArrayDateCol)):INDEX(WorkdayArrayThuCol,MATCH(B1:B4,WorkdayArrayDateCol))*$P$6 +INDEX(WorkdayArrayFriCol,MATCH(A1:A4,WorkdayArrayDateCol)):INDEX(WorkdayArrayFriCol,MATCH(B1:B4,WorkdayArrayDateCol))*$P$7) & NETWORKDAYS.INTL but that doesn't seem to work with ranges at all.

<tbody>
</tbody>

The closest I can ever seem to manage is an array with the 4 resulting totals in it like so:

8.5

4

2

4.5

<tbody>
</tbody>

..and that always seems to be the end of the line, I can't manage to SUM up to 19. As per the title I need to perform this summation in one cell.

Thank you very much for your help, I can't seem to quite get it there!

Hi !

Is your data table just to assist in finding out how many of each weekday is in a specific date range?

If so, why not just use instead a formula to check an array of all the days within the date interval, and count them, assigning a value based on the day multiplier... you can add up one by one all 5 variations for each weekday.

I highlighted the part where the day specific multiplier is applied, change to references as needed

=SUM(IF(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A2&":"&B2)),2)=1,0.5,0))+
SUM(IF(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A2&":"&B2)),2)=2,1,0))
SUM(IF(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A2&":"&B2)),2)=3,1,0))
SUM(IF(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A2&":"&B2)),2)=4,1,0))
SUM(IF(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A2&":"&B2)),2)=5,0.5,0))

Hi

If I understand correctly you don't need the matrix with the 0's and 1's since they just have a 1 in the weekday corresponding to the date.

I deleted the "s" at the end of the weekdays in your weekday table (like Tuesdays -> Tuesday) so that I can compare directly with the workday.

In D2:

=SUM((A8:A22>=TRANSPOSE(A1:A4))*(A8:A22<=TRANSPOSE(B1:B4))*MMULT(--(TEXT(A8:A22;"dddd")=TRANSPOSE(C8:C12));D8:D12))

This is an array formula, you have to confirm it with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER and not just ENTER.

A different approach.
N.B. This does not put the answer in one cell but the approach would work well with one pair.

Excel 2010
	A	B	C
1	17-Jul-17	31-Jul-17	8.5
2	20-Jul-17	26-Jul-17	4
3	27-Jul-17	31-Jul-17	2
4	24-Jul-17	31-Jul-17	4.5
5			19
1a

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
C1	=NETWORKDAYS.INTL(A1,B1,"1000111")+NETWORKDAYS.INTL(A1,B1,"0111011")*0.5
C5	=SUM(C1:C4)

Hi

[...]

=SUM((A8:A22>=TRANSPOSE(A1:A4))*(A8:A22<=TRANSPOSE(B1:B4))*MMULT(--(TEXT(A8:A22;"dddd")=TRANSPOSE(C8:C12));D8:D12))

This just gave me an idea, how to do with single formula without the helper date list

Also array formula, so add with CTRL+SHiFT+ENTER, and daily work ratios are in P5:P9

=SUM(IF(MMULT(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A2&":"&B2)),2),COLUMN(A:E))/COLUMN(A:E)=COLUMN(A:E),1,0)*TRANSPOSE(P5:P9))


**edited typo

 

[istiasztalos]

hmm i just realized how the direction of the arrays actually matter in an array formula...... this one is shorter

=SUM(IF(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A2&":"&B2)),2)=COLUMN(A:E),TRANSPOSE(P5:P9)))

Hi

If I understand correctly you don't need the matrix with the 0's and 1's since they just have a 1 in the weekday corresponding to the date.

I deleted the "s" at the end of the weekdays in your weekday table (like Tuesdays -> Tuesday) so that I can compare directly with the workday.

In D2:

=SUM((A8:A22>=TRANSPOSE(A1:A4))*(A8:A22<=TRANSPOSE(B1:B4))*MMULT(--(TEXT(A8:A22;"dddd")=TRANSPOSE(C8:C12));D8:D12))

This is an array formula, you have to confirm it with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER and not just ENTER.

I have to award pgc01 the winner, as his solution fit the bill perfectly - it calculated the availability across multiple date ranges in one cell. I'm now using a slightly modified version of his solution - I never thought of ranging the start and end dates in arrays and multiplying them, very creative! (I've actually learned from this technique and used it to solve another challenge I was having).

Thank you istiasztalos, Dave Patton & pgc01 - I very much appreciate you taking the time to respond to my question!
